Longest period of rain we can remember….
We lead such charmed lives…we try to avoid areas during their rainy seasons, and so we rarely experience days and days of rain.
The forecast says tonight is the end of four days and nights of nearly around-the-clock rain here. The remaining six days of our time in Petoskey are predicted to have *zero* chance of rain!
Probably just jinxed our chances….
But we’ve had fun and adventures driving around scouting colors! Risked the Nikon for a couple shots…had fun with the waterproof Hero3 for some shooting…and undoubtedly earned some strange looks from people as we set up the tripod alongside the road for a couple shots when the clouds were so heavy and the light so dim that we needed the stability for some slow exposures!
We did it for you.
There was a brief break last evening just at sunset….

Thanks for thinking about us . . . and only us.
It’s possible you’ve read more into that one line than was intended, Ed!
and you did it well….
Why thank you, Roger. I just keep shooting….eventually something usable shows up…
Gorgeous pictures!
Thank you, Madeline! I actually had to prove to myself that pictures in the rain could be a good thing. It was dicey, getting all that equipment out into the sprinkles, but usually worthwhile. I minimized the sky in the framing, and minimized the time the Nikon spent outside, and voilà….
Great pics! This is such a nice area. A few years ago, we discovered
Harbor Springs. You should check it out Doug.
Bruce, thank you! Ahhhh, we’ve gotten acquainted with that sweet village…and Tom’s Mom’s Cookies!
Summac, aspen, and sugar maples–the highlights of the fall landscape. Thanks again for sharing. Your work is gorgeous.
Thank you, Trudy! We’ve really enjoyed being “in the midst” as the colors have begun to get serious.
Absolutely love all the color you capture..have a friend in AZ who has been sending the incredible sunsets taking place there right now…two of our most favorite places and enjoy seeing them through others’ eyes…
What luck eh? I love living vicariously! Stay tuned….
Thanks for bringing some color to us down here in southern MI. Colors here are pretty drab this year, but you’ve gotten some awesome shots! Thank you, thank you.
Isn’t it fascinating how the colors develop in different areas? Thanks for the compliment. We hope to have even more & better….if the trend continues!
Spectacular!
Hang on tight…it should get even better!
Awesome shots again, Doug. It’s good to be reminded that rainy days have their own beauty.
Thank you, Mike. Yeah, we just have to pause and look. Good to hear from you….
